A progressive outlook on politics in Australia and abroad

Better than APEC

I haven’t found a YouTube link yet, so the ABC site is the best place to see this, if you missed it last night:

Go to the video clips page on the Chaser’s web site. Get into the player and select the “Eulogy Song”

Note – Language Warning: This video contains the dirty words. Don’t watch it if you offended by explicit language or are in a place where others may be offended.

(UPDATE: It looks like the ABC has removed the clip.You can find it at the SMH instead, or via the ninemsn link just watch the YouTube version below).

I think it would have to be the funniest thing I have ever seen on their show. Andrew Hansen has done some great songs before, but this was bitingly clever and hilarious.

ELSEWHERE: Apparently, some people were less impressed than me with the song – News.com.au and ninemsn both have coverage of the way they “distressed” viewers (here’s a hint – if you don’t like confronting satire, watching the War is probably not a good idea). Both stories also manage to spell Hansen’s name wrong.

ELSEWHERE #2: To give credit where it’s due, apparently Chris Taylor wrote the song. And he says the ABC had received six calls, three of which were congratulatory.
